Twitterverse had all the feels for Spieth, Willett during Masters Sunday
— -- Heading into Sunday at the Masters, Jordan Spieth looked poised to defend his Augusta title, but ...
The 12th hole
... anything, and then some.
The 12th hole
Up by five shots heading into the 12th hole, Spieth quadruple bogeyed, with two shots landing in the water before he hit the green. Needless to say, the Twitterverse was in shock:
Jordan Spieth with a quadruple bogey
First time he's ever made anything worse than double bogey in a major, as a pro

Last time I was this uncomfortable watching the Masters, it was Greg Norman

#TheMasters pressure is unreal. Hard to watch what's happening to #Speith
Steph Curry fell to the floor during pregame shootaround upon hearing Jordan Spieth put 2 balls into the water. https://t.co/CARFMVIUoL
Bogey, bogey, Quad to start the back 9. I dreamed of one day having Spieth's scorecard. Never thought he'd take mine.
The 3 year old: "daddy, I like when the ball goes in the water."... He's ready to play some golf w me
Then, Danny Willett's brother took the audience by storm as play rolled on:
If the boy does what he should, I will be able to say 'I've shared a bath with a Masters winners - brilliant #bbcgolf
Call it a comeback?
When Spieth birdied on Hole 13, some were hoping for a rally:
Now come back and win, kid
This COULD turn out to be the greatest comeback ever... Don't count him out!
I can't even. #Masters
Amazing character @JordanSpieth has shown to even compete after that 12th hole. #Masters
But, in the end, it was Willett
Willett became the second Englishman to win the Masters since Nick Faldo:
Congratulations, @Danny_Willett pic.twitter.com/0mL9iMWsp3
If you bet on anyone but Spieth, you could be in for a big payday. Willett was 20/1, Westwood was 50/1 this morning.
MVP of the Masters? Zachariah James Willett. If Danny's first child wasn't born a week early, he wouldn't be here right now.
I love the story #Willett's wife Nicole gives birth 11 days early, clearing his path to Augusta. Talk about clutch, both of them. #Masters
. @Danny_Willett well done that man.... And I new baby that was due today... The name Augusta sounds pretty good.

Yorkshire! ?
History will remember this Masters for Jordan Spieth's collapse, but we shouldn't forget Danny Willett's flawless final-round performance.
Torn about Spieth. So mentally tough. But also so twitchy, so tic-addled, seems outstanding candidate for future yips.
Jordan Spieth Back 9
Saturday: 38 (+2)
Sunday 41 (+5)
I think the whole golfing world feels for Jordan Spieth. He had a chance to do something truly special and... https://t.co/v4XtUhqwbI
More from @JordanSpieth to CBS: "It was a really tough 30 minutes for me that I hope I never have to experience again."
Despite the loss... Watching @JordanSpieth 's composure is truly admirable. #Legend
And finally ...
Was this the good luck charm for Willett?
Danny Willett's caddie is wearing No. 89 -- the same number Jack Nicklaus' caddie wore 30 years ago this week.
